Abstract
A method of operating a STA in a wireless LAN system, the method may comprise: receiving a P2P control frame from an AP within a TXOP of the AP, wherein a P2P communication period is allocated to at least one STA based on the P2P control frame, transmitting a CTS frame to the AP in response to the P2P control frame, wherein at least one STA including the first STA that received the P2P control frame simultaneously transmits a CTS frame to the AP, and transmitting at least one of a P2P frame and an uplink frame within an individual P2P communication period of the first STA within the P2P communication period allocated to the at least one STAs.

1-16. (canceled)
A method of operating a first station (STA) in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising:
- performing, by the first STA, a polling operation for allocating a partial time interval of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) acquired by the first STA to at least one STA, wherein at least one polling STA that is allocated the partial time interval within the TXOP acquired by the first STA is determined based on the polling operation;
- and
- transmitting, by the first STA, a trigger frame that allocates the partial time interval to the at least one polling STA, wherein the partial time interval is allocated to the at least one polling STA within the TXOP acquired by the first STA based on the trigger frame.
A first station (STA) comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that cause the first STA to perform specific operations by the at least one processor,
- wherein the specific operations comprise:
- performing a polling operation for allocating a partial time interval of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) acquired by the first STA to at least one STA, wherein at least one polling STA that is allocated the partial time interval within the TXOP acquired by the first STA is determined based on the polling operation;
- and
- transmitting a trigger frame that allocates the partial time interval to the at least one polling STA, wherein the partial time interval is allocated to the at least one polling STA within the TXOP acquired by the first STA based on the trigger frame.
A method of operating a first station (STA) in a wireless LAN system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the first STA, a trigger frame indicating an allocation of a partial time interval of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) acquired by the first STA to a peer-to-peer (P2P) group;
- and
- receiving, by the first STA, a response frame to the trigger frame from a second STA belonging to the P2P group;
- and
- allocating the partial time interval of the TXOP acquired by the first STA to the P2P group based on receiving the response frame.
A first station (STA) comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that cause the first STA to perform specific operations by the at least one processor,
- wherein the specific operations comprise:
- transmitting a trigger frame indicating an allocation of a partial time interval of a transmission opportunity (TXOP) acquired by the first STA to a peer-to-peer (P2P) group;
- receiving a response frame to the trigger frame from a second STA among STAs within the P2P group;
- and
- allocating the partial time interval of the TXOP acquired by the first STA to the P2P group.
